Dear #Researcher, I participate to NxtMedia conference and I think you should join me – why?

If you are an NTNU employee, you should convince your department head or project head that it is worth to pay for your subscription and your time.

Why?

NxtMedia brings together for one day, technology entrepeneurs with media actors, such the Norwegian TV broadcaster NRK, the main Norwegian newspapers, International researchers. If we understand how the media sector evolves, we will know how to communicate our ideas to the world. Dear researcher, you (and I) have a responsibility to influence media experts so they choose the best technology that can enable democracy and prevent spreadning of false and negative messages. Dear researcher, you will understand better how the media sector is exploiting evailable data sources and new technology such as Blockchain and Machine Learning to imagine and develop the media of the future.

If you come to NxtMedia you will meet journalists, other International researchers, entrepeneurs. Some talks are given in Norwegian, some in English. It will be possible for the not Norwegian speaking to attend talks and participate to the discussions.

Check for example Eveline Klumper, gruender from the Nederland who will explain how the media sector looks at Blockchain. Check Morten Jacobsen, Responsible for Schibsted Media’s technology brands like Aftonbladet, VG, Aftenposten, Svenska Dagbladet, BT,Stavanger Aftenblad and Fædrelandsvennen. And the NRK research director Kristian Tolonen. Check also Martha Stone, world leading data and AI media organizer and researcher, former research fellow of Reuter’s Institute at Oxford – she will bring the take aways from London AI Study Tour and Conference last week to Trondheim.

I read once again The story of the lost child. Where is Tina ? Where is Lila ? Did they want to take Tina or Imma ? One of my own friends in Pisa was killed by a truck one afternook in December 1982. They said that somebody could know who the killer was . Who is the man who had killed my friend without stopping a December afternoon ? And who had taken Elena’s and Lina’s dolls ? And is Lila with the terrorists, with the mafia, with the good ones? Even the professor Airota father is investigated. Is he investigated for mafia or political corruption ? And the last lover of Elena is a younger professor from Politecnico di Torino . It is our story , the story of us Italians who still have not understood our story. We are only able to understand bad novels (writes Elena Ferrante in the end) and we can only redeem with intelligence and by speaking out our words (I say this) .
